Nutrition: Getting to Your Balance Point

A Guide to Achieving Balance

Second Edition - Revised and Updated (2026)

Good nutrition isn't about following the perfect diet. It's about understanding what works for you.

In a world crowded with conflicting nutritional advice, restrictive diets, and promises of rapid transformation, finding a sensible approach to eating can feel unnecessarily complicated.

In Nutrition: Getting to Your Balance Point, health and fitness educator Paul DeAngelis brings decades of professional experience to a practical examination of ketogenic nutrition, metabolism, and individual dietary needs.

Originally published in 2016, this revised and updated second edition revisits ketogenic nutrition with a broader perspective-recognizing both its potential benefits and its limitations.

Rather than presenting one dietary approach as the answer for everyone, DeAngelis encourages readers to understand the principles, evaluate their individual responses, and make informed decisions.

Inside, you'll explore:
The principles behind ketogenic nutrition and how the body uses different fuelsCommon misconceptions surrounding low-carbohydrate dietsPractical considerations for building a ketogenic eating planWays to evaluate progress beyond the number on the scaleWhy individual tolerances and nutritional needs varyThe relationship between nutrition, exercise, and recoveryHow to recognize when a nutritional strategy needs to change
Written for readers who value understanding over dietary dogma, this book offers a thoughtful starting point for making more informed nutritional choices.

The goal isn't to become loyal to a diet. It's to develop the knowledge and judgment to find your own balance.
